29-year-old Marie Claire Holthuizen is a PR Goddess from Breda in the Netherlands, who went shopping in Puerto Banus with Fashion TV.

Marie Claire works as a PR for one of the most exclusive members clubs in London called Home House. Before that she worked as a PR for Nikki Beach Marbella. Fashion TV caught Marie Claire on a shopping spree in Puerto Banus. i-Marbella also found out more about her shopping habits and about the shops she likes the most.

1. What are your favourite brands?

I like quite classy clothes, for example I adore brands like Ralph Lauren, Dior, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana, but I also love pieces from more affordable brands like Guess by Marciano, Karen Millen, Ted Baker, Armani Exchange. And when it comes to bags, you can never go wrong with a timeless Louis Vuitton or Hermes and a pair of Jimmy Choos or Louboutins to make you feel irresistible.

2. Which shops do you prefer?

I love to browse small boutiques, because you can find unique pieces there and a personalised service. Yet at Corte Ingles or Selfridges you will find everything in one place. I also check out Massimo Dutti, Zara and Mango regularly for some basic pieces for the season. It's all about how you combine it and how you compliment your clothes with beautiful accessories. I like to keep it simple, unless I go out with the girls and we dress to the nines.

3. Where else besides Puerto Banus do you usually go shopping?

I live in London, which offers endless opportunities for shopping. But I also like Milan for trendy fashion, New York is amazing at christmas time and of course the romantic Paris.

4. How many pairs of shoes do you have?

Ohoh, probably 200 pairs. It's hard for me to resist shoes, I don't know what is is that they do to us, but a pair of killer stilettos can really boost your confidence.

5. What is the most expensive thing in your closet?

I have a pair of extremely high and exclusive Alexander McQueen shoes. They were a gift and I believe they cost €1000, so actually I am afraid to wear them!
